Secure sign-in fundamentals
Logging into your Uphold® account should always begin with a verified, secure connection. Confirm you are using the official application or trusted device, and ensure your internet connection is private. Public Wi-Fi networks can introduce risks such as man-in-the-middle attacks. By adopting cautious sign-in practices, you reduce exposure to unauthorized access.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of defense. Always enable 2FA for your Uphold account and store your backup codes securely. Use an authenticator app instead of SMS whenever possible, as SMS-based codes are more susceptible to interception.
Device hygiene & browser security
Regularly update your browser, mobile app, and device operating system. Outdated software can contain vulnerabilities exploited by attackers. Avoid using devices that are shared or not under your control when accessing Uphold. Disable unnecessary browser extensions before login sessions.
Portfolio protection practices
Beyond login security, protect your portfolio by monitoring account activity. Enable notifications for sign-ins and transfers. Review permissions for connected apps or APIs. For significant holdings, consider segmenting funds between active accounts and long-term storage solutions.
